Information
Before Hearts Grow formed, the band was divided into two bands. The women of the band were in a band called G-Seven, and the men were known as BAMBOO. In 2004, both of these bands disbanded and later joined together and formed Hearts Grow.
The group met in northern Okinawa at Ajisai Ongaku Mura, a practice studio near an Okinawan high school. They began performing street lives in Okinawa. In 2005 they signed with the Ajisai indie label and released their first mini-album, HEARTS GROW. After the release of their second indie mini-album, Grow!!, the band signed with the major label Sony Music Entertainment under their Epic Records sub-label.
In 2006, the band made their major label debut with the single "Road". Not long after its release the band followed up with their second single: "Yura Yura" which was used as the ninth opening theme to the anime NARUTO.
In 2008, the band's drummer Yuuya had to leave the band because he broke his elbow. Kusunose Takuya, of the band Hysteric Blue, joined the band to replace him, but was not officially in the band. After the release of "Sora" later that year the band went on hiatus for reasons that were undisclosed. The reason behind it was thought to be due to such things as: disagreements in the group, as well as the death of Nakasone, who was the president of Ajisai Music.
However in November 2009, the band issued a statement proclaiming their hiatus. The reason for the hiatus was credited to musical differences between the band members. The statement also announced that the band's vocalist Haruna was currently working towards her debut as a solo artist.
